Raids for loot: Search on "lazy farming" which helps you get loot in the quickest and more economical way.

Raids for war: At your level I would focus on Giant/Healer raids.

War defense: Your main threat will be air raids, where you want the dragons to concentrate on the defenses and buildings around your TH. This type of layout is typically called "moat" since you will use your wall to create as much space between your TH and the other buildings.
